From House of Mouse to Kingdom Hearts, it appears that once a Disney story is "finished" the characters (regardless of death/defeat status) are able to just exist in their own world and travel between them to just hang out. We also know that the Disney Villains tend to either just chill or try to do evil stuff like takeover the multiverse, take over a night club, destroy all of reality, crash the Disneyland performances, etc. What if they just get kinda tired of always losing and on accident discover Twisted Wonderland. Agreeing that they themselves likely won't be able to go against their heroes, they decide to leave a mark on this new world's history and choose a proxies/heirs that can surpass them.

Each of the Great 7 attatch themselves to their respective overblot boy. Since they're technically spirits now, they're buried into the soul of their proxy and can't contact them directly until after they overblot.

What happens is basically the Great 7 meeting their chosen heirs every night in their dreams and just start teaching/mentoring them.

What they expected: shaping the next generation of the evillest villains imaginable

What they got: parenting a traumatized kid and being *this* close to strangling those who hurt them

No joke, these villains got attatched real quick. So instead of the OB squad being the peak new villains, they're the peak new anti-heroes. The main philosophy is now "who cares about good and evil, just do what you want".

The result is 7 new anti-heroes who embody everything the OG great 7 could've been.

So TWST story "ends" and Twisted Wonderland joins the rest of the Disney Multiverse. The Great 7 + other twisted villains officially retire and leave any official Disney shenanigans to their fully grown heirs. Mickey is already updated cause he's besties with Yuuya and Yuurie (my two yuusonas; Yuuya's a stand user while Yuurie's a pokemon trainer).

News of this spreads and there are mixed feelings to say the least. The sidekicks who got left behind are just happy at the possibility of having somewhere to go. The heroes are where most of the mess is: some are hopeful, some are suspicious, some think they should check it out, other think they should just attack, etc. Mickey puts a stop to it since he has met the TWST cast and can vouch for them. Stitch is estatic at being able to visit his friends and introduce them to his ohana. The feelings are mutual.

Lilo & Stitch are the first to visit. In general, everyone at NRC is either gay, autistic, and/or traumatized either because of the daily shit that goes on or because of some tragic backstory. Basically Lilo is welcomed with open arms and fits right in. Stitch is just happy to see his friends parents *cough cough* Floyd x Riddle *cough cough*.

This gets the ball rolling and the villain sidekicks start pouring in.

The King of Hearts is such a sweetheart and such a good listener that he's a quick favorite. Riddle can never bring himself to yell at him no matter how mad he is, so he's also a great shield for the ADeuce duo. The rest of the dorm just appreciates him for being so quick to calm down Riddle despite his meekness.

Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed (the heyenas) are pretty mischevious but also respect Leona quite a bit due to his strength. Leona pays them well (in food) and mostly just lets them do their own thing unless he needs them (not much since they don't have arms do his laundry). They get along best with Ruggie and tend to follow him around.

Flotsam and Jetsam bond instantly with the Tweels. Since they don't have a human form, they mostly hang out in the lounge tank. They've also done sooooo many pranks with Floyd and on occasion Jade. Azul doesn't care so long as business isn't disrupted. They also make great spies so Azul looks the other way when they fuck around with the dorm members.

Iago is a bit more apprehensive (Aladdin series) but goes to scope out to see if the so called proxy is a threat. Is immediatly bombarded with the typical Scarabia hospitality. Jamil is the one to get Kalim to back off and remind him that parrots prefer fuits and nuts over crackers. Iago is pleasently surprised and sticks by Jamil. The two hit it off with the banter and besties in less than a day.

Loki (Queen's raven; name origin) was somewhat intimidated by his old mistress but still very nosy. Upon arrival and introduction, Vil immediatly has him cleaned and taken to a vet. This raven is the most spoiled little thing (no thanks to Rook) and is mostly Vil's ranting partner. Loki's just happy at being pampered and likes to eavesdrop on gossip that chat with Vil.

Pain & Panic were pretty happy at having Hades gone but also terrified of the potential consequences if they didn't serve his heir. To their surprise, Idia is the one insisting they don't need to serve him. But they get attatched and end up staying anyways. Their main job is helping Ortho get Idia out of his room and just be healthy. Honestly 10/10 domestic skills and Idia really appreciates them.

Diablo was the first to fly over and Malleus adopted him on sight. Because of his status as henchmen it doesn't count as pet so he's staying Lilia. Also a very spoiled bird, likes to bring trinkets & confidential information. Malleus is just happy at having a new friend. Sebek acts like a worried mother and Silver is just chill. Lilia has also inlisted the bird in his pranks.

News of the henchmen finding homes there puts the rest of the heroes on edge. Mickey brings over Donald, Goofy, and the rest of his friend circle to Twisted Wonderland to tour. Surprisingly it goes pretty well (no fires or explosions this time) and now they like to stop by at Ramshackle for tea.

Since the Overblot Boys will now be filling in all social roles for the now retired OG 7, Mickey decides to formally introduce them to the Disney multiverse. How does he do this? With a masquerade ball. Why? Because the Glorious Masquerade outfits are fucking gorgeous and Disney also released a Midnight Masquerade doll series who's outfits also slay. Sooooo sorry my hands are tied.

The masks are meant to magically conceal their identity, so unless you explicitly say who you are (which isn't really allowed) you mostly have to guess who you're talking too. The plan is to have everyone remove their masks at midnight. Mickey's logic is that if everyone manages to get along with the new 7 in disguise, then there won't be a problem at having everyone get along.

So masquerade happens and everyone is interacting with someone (yes even Idia):

The three good faries are having an interesting conversation on magic theory with a very polite princely young man.

Hercules is stuck listening to Megara and a really introverted guy keep outsassing each other as well as doing commentary on everyone else in the room.

Florian and Snow White are having a debate with a very vain sort of person on what makes someone a man/woman and what defines beauty.

Jasmine is having a rather heated discussion with some sneaky guy on the dos and don'ts of reforming an incompetant beurocracy with Aladdin occasionally butting in when the topic steers to poverty.

Eric and Ariel are talking over possible trade ventures between sea and land with a seemingly experienced young man.

Simba is stuck arguing with some guy who looks 5 minutes away from falling asleep about the politics of a class-divided/food chain based kingdom.

Alice is being both scolded and nagged on by some no nonsense type boy who acts like her sister.

Anyway midnight happens and the shock is real. Introductions aren't really necessary since the boys all ooze charisma dipped in an aura that gives away exactly who they're twisted from.

Bonus when you consider that Twisted Wonderland was originally gonna be an otome game, meaning that while in that world a character's looks can be considered average they're still hot af to everyone else. Like yes Jafar slayed the eyeliner and robes, but he never had as much game as Jamil does.
